spring – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Cherry Blossoms

glories of springtime 
graceful motion on the trees
walking in silence

under the spring sky
my light jacket a bit much 
kindness of sunlight

feeding on sunlight 
while reaching through the green leaves 
nourished by the earth

walking through my yard 
flowers suddenly appear 
after the rain squall

passing by the shore
water's motion over sand 
seagulls shout "hello"

dandelion days
gentle rain and warm air 
announce their return

boldly nearing spring 
walking amidst the sunlight 
gazing to the west

a sunlit day 
bubbles drifting 
children's delight

memories of snow
remaining in my mind 
signs of spring emerge

under sunlight's grace 
I've left my coat in the car
though it's still winter
